Armadillo, Fely D.
This study was conducted to find the current level of satisfaction of Central Philippine University staff. All full time staff members (200) were used as respondents. The descriptive-relational research design and one-shot survey were used in this study. The researcher-made questionnaire on employees’ level of satisfaction used during school year 2005-2006 was modified and used in this survey. The findings revealed that the respondents were mostly satisfied with the different university services, their rights, privileges and functions. The findings also revealed that sex is significantly related to their level of satisfaction. The male employees have a higher satisfaction level compared to the female in terms of communication, planning and implementation of policies, remuneration and benefits, spirituality and service excellence. Civil status, religion, educational attainment and job classification were found to be significantly related to their satisfaction level in all areas except for monthly income and length of service which were not significantly related to their satisfaction level. In comparison with the study conducted in academic year 2007-2008, there are significant differences in their level of satisfaction in the areas of university services such as communication, training and development, roles and functions and supervisory considerations. The levels of satisfaction in these areas increased during academic year 2011-2012 except in the area of planning and implementation of policies where a significant decrease in their level of satisfaction was found.

Belonio, Salvacion H.
This study was conducted primarily to develop and evaluate a module in business research. Specifically, it aimed: (1) to prepare a module in business research and (2) to have the said module evaluated by students taking up business research in terms of its different aspects, such as: (a) physical; (b) content; and (c) evaluation. This study adopted the descriptive-evaluative type of research design since it aimed to develop and evaluate a module in business research. The respondents for this study were the 75 students of the College of Business and Administration enrolled in Bus 321a (Methods of Research) for the first semester of school year 2006-2007. Total enumeration was the sampling design employed since all of those enrolled in the subject during the term were asked to evaluate every single part of the module. The developed module in Business Research was used as the main instructional material for the subject Bus 321a (Methods of Research) for the term first semester 2006-2007. After discussing each topic or module, the students were asked to evaluate a particular module. The research instrument used in the evaluation of the module was the questionnaire prepared by the researcher. Results of the evaluation were processed using EXCEL program. In the analysis, the mean was used to describe the students' evaluation of the module. The major findings of this research on the development and evaluation of a module in business research are
• The respondents rated the Module in Business Research in their general evaluation as excellent.
• Evaluation by topic or module, the respondents rated most of the modules excellent.
Based on the aforementioned findings, it can be concluded that the module developed for business research was generally rated as excellent. The different aspects of the module (i.e., the physical, content, and evaluation aspects) were rated excellent, except for two items on the content aspect in which they are rated very satisfactory. These two items that were rated very satisfactory are "every topic is thoroughly discussed" and "discussion for every topic is easily understood."

Larawan, Lucell A.
The study described the status of collaboration between the enterprises that are members of Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Iloilo (CCII) and the academic institutions in the local setting as experienced by the business firms under CCII. The descriptive method was used to analyze the responses of 30 managers or owners of business firms who participated. A questionnaire-assisted interview was employed to gather pertinent data which were analyzed using frequency distribution and the mean with a supplement of qualitative analysis for the prospects for future collaboration. The CCII firms are moderately aware that collaborating with the academic sector benefited them by providing the firms with well-suited graduates; giving them the opportunity to share expertise; giving access to facilities; getting needed participation in research; and by providing information in scientific developments. For the firms, collaborating with the academe is important. Collaborating, for CCII members, among others, is done primarily for the reason that it is an investment to attract the best employees from the graduates. However, the possible forms of collaboration between the CCII firms and the academic institutions are rarely practiced and are mostly limited to accepting student practicum and sponsoring the activities of schools. The CCII firms did not participate in the curriculum design of colleges and universities but will get involved with it if given the chance. Prospects on the partnership of academe and industry promise more and better collaborations which inspire more entrepreneurs, breed new course offerings, improve regulatory issues in the business sector and awaken a better social responsibility through the partnerships. Conclusions were derived: The possibilities for better and more forms of collaborations between the firms and the academe are great possibilities although hindrances on these collaborations need to be addressed. Firms have good reasons for collaborating with the academe. There is an opportunity loss which involves the unrealized value of the possible synergy between the two sectors if they have more and better arrangements of partnership. The curricula of the colleges and universities are still less responsive to the needs of the business world which is supposed to be the reason why students are educated. With the prospects for more and better partnerships creating synergistic results, the region can possibly attain knowledge-based economic development

Larawan, Lucell A.
This study aimed to describe the industry linkage and the curriculum content of the different colleges of Central Philippine University as perceived by the deans. The study used the qualitative method to describe the linkages the colleges had with industrial firms.
Viewing industry linkage as beneficial to the academe, the deans affirmed that there have been linkages between the different colleges of the university and the industrial firms which come in the form of: a) consultation by the faculty, b) field trip, c) faculty as lecturers or trainors, d) practicum and OJT of students, e) scholarship offers of firms, f) hosting of shows and conferences, g) license grant, h) serving as host for product launching, i) industry and energy research forum, j) visiting lecturer from industry sector, k) medical supplies and donations, and 1) Memoranda of Agreement for linkages. The colleges based its curriculum design from CHED provisions although they enhanced, modified or reconfigured the curriculum to suit preferences. The ratio of teachers involved with industrial firms as consultants or lecturers vary among the colleges, with some having 100% faculty involvement and the rest with only 80%, 50% or 5% involvement. Hindrances to better linkage with industrial firms were identified as: a) lack of a separate unit taking charge of this, b) teachers who are already loaded with their teaching, c) lack of information dissemination in the colleges and from the business sector, d) a feeling of no necessity for this linkage, e) recent existence of a college, and f) teachers not freed to have a continuing education lectures. The need for a separate organization that takes charge of university linkages with firms was identified by most colleges.
The existence of different forms of linkages with business firms in CPU is a positive sign that its programs are not totally theory-centered, but are, to some extent, sensitive to the needs of the firms. Although the colleges used OJT feedback and enhanced the CHED requirements in the curriculum, they did not yet have enough inputs from the industry sector. The majority of the faculty members of the colleges who are not involved with the business firms when their fields of specializations are industry-related, indicates either lack of motivation on the part of the teachers to market their respective expertise, or lack of reputation in terms of competence that can lead a business firm to hire their services as consultants or lecturers.
